CGI Federal, a subsidiary of Montreal-based IT firm CGI Group, has been awarded a contract by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The firm will provide technology and expertise for its CDC Information Management Services (CIMS).
 
CIMS is a CDC-wide contract that will consolidate IT, management consulting and technology infrastructure activities for the next decade. These services support CDC’s 1,300 public health projects worldwide. Under the contract, CGI will provide a full range of IT and consulting services, including website development and support, business intelligence services and application development.

The CGI deal, an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) subcontract, was awarded by CDC in support of a previous agreement with the consultancy ICF International. The agreement was organized into three domain areas: information management, management consulting and infrastructure.

As part of the ICF team, CGI will support the information management and management consulting domains, which have a potential value of $4 billion to be competitively awarded among domain awardees. The term of the contract includes two base years and four two-year options.
 
“CDC is at the forefront of improving the public’s health – something that impacts all of us," said Cheryl Campbell, senior vice president of CGI. "We are proud to partner with ICF to support the agency's efforts to further the health and protection of the American public through CIMS. CGI will bring our strong combination of federal health domain expertise, technology experience and proven program management discipline to help CDC advance their important public health mission.”
